Do you think these things aren’t connected? The racism that makes cops murder Black people is the same racism that makes it harder for Black people to get good jobs. It stems from the same problem and it sure as fuck isn’t their resumes.
Sure, they’re connected. You give me a formula for simply rid racist thought from all human minds and I’ll concede you have a point here. Until then, I’m gonna keep operating on the fact that racist thought manifests differently in different areas of society and that they require unique solutions. In the area of discrimination in hiring practices, resumes absolutely are a contributing factor.
You’re not going to get me to simplify my thinking on this enormously complex issue by pointing to the abstract notion of “people are fucking racist!” You can’t address that directly. You have to take the more pragmatic approach of addressing the concrete elements in society that you can actually change. In fact, if you’d studied any actual literature on the topic, you’d know this already, because all the academics agree with what I just wrote.
You literally said that it’s “more effective” to give Black people better resumes than to stop systematic racism at the top.
Yes, but I was referring solely to DEI programs, which have nothing to do with systemic racism in police brutality or judicial prejudice areas.
